Located in Nara, 4.8 km from Nara Station and 23 km from Iwafune Shrine, HAT byakugoji, Japanese traditional fireplace HAT白毫寺 自然豊富な別荘地にある囲炉裏付き一軒家 offers air conditioning. This property offers access to a balcony and free private parking. The property is non-smoking and is set 26 km from Higashiosaka Hanazono Rugby Stadium.

One of the best experiences we've had on our trip to Japan. The house is located in the mountain with a limited access (only car) as it's on a toll road. Owners were extremely nice, sweet and helpful. They gave us a lot of tips and tricks for Nara (which we used) so we had even better experience. Very easy to communicate with owners, they text back very quickly and are very nice. The house is very well equipped, the fireplace is amazing, you can easily prepare a hotpot or grill some fish or steaks (owners have amazing equipment for both). The house is equipped with a traditional Japan style hottub which is a must try! The house was very nice and clean, enough space for everything, nice kitchen, living room and beautiful view. Bathroom was spacious and clean. Traditional bedrooms were very comfortable. We really enjoyed staying in this accommodation! Definitely worth it!

Also gave us a ride around the city while driving from station to house. Location was excellent as most of the places we visited were within walking distance. Also Host gave us all necessary directions & information (attractions/ maps/ eating places/ shopping & entertainments) Thank you both KUKI KUNIMITSU KUKI TOMOYO For having us and making our visit to Japan is a memorable one. Highly recommend your place to any one who would like to visit Japan/ Nara.

The host is accommodating and even provides recommendations on food around the area. He speaks good English, so communication is easy. As we are unable to reserve a slot at the strawberry farm over the phone, he did so willingly despite being outstation in Tokyo. We had a good stay in this peaceful and lovely house.

    It's a charming old house which is well-maintained and really makes you feel you are in Japan...even to a courtyard garden. The location was easy to get to either by walking from the station (15 minutes) or by bus (5 minutes), but was in a quiet and traditional part of Nara that turned out to be part of the pleasure (since, unlike most of Kyoto, Nara had retained its charm in the last half-century). We wouldn't hesitate to go back again.

    One of the best deals you can get in Nara -- low priced room with free breakfast buffet and sauna. And the room, if you're used to the modern Japanese architectural scale (i.e. small size), is all you can ask for. Clean and cozy.

    Nara Setre Naramachi exceeded our expectations with its charming wooden exterior and cozy interior. The staff's kindness towards my children added a personal touch to our stay. The culinary experience was exceptional, and the added bonuses of complimentary drinks at the lounge and a visit to the chicken farm made our stay truly delightful. Highly recommend for a memorable and family-friendly getaway.
